I am shooting a student short and want to create soft moonlight in a room. In past the night scenes I have had to do allowed me to have a bit harsher of moonlight (2k w/250 and 1/2 CTB 1/4 Plus Green). But I want a much softer feel with this but still keep areas dark. Would a kino or diva work well? Of course I would have to cut the spill. Or would it be better to use again a 2k but go with stronger diffusion like 216? I also had the idea of playing with a 1k chimera but that is a hard light to control when you have limited flags, nets, etc.
On the subject of moonlight, do many cinematographer underexpose on big night EXT.? I was reading in AC about wolfman and they were explaining the lighting set up for the forest and I was curious if the key light is usually underexposed since you outside at night and don't have highlights in the woods at that time.
